We had a camp, a community. Two families would serve us meal on Saturdays. Different lifestyles brought a lot of people together. In daytime, we were part of the outer community. At nighttime, we were our own community. When a homemade fire pit was stolen from the outer community, we offered to let them search our tents and help them find it. I went for walks to make sure the park and playground were kept clean. It was a hard time, but it was doable because I felt like I belonged somewhere. It was a safe place. We had safety. We made safety. All neighbourhoods want this. It was home.


Community mapping involves creating a map of a community that is told from the perspective of those who live, work, or play in the area. What places spark a special memory? Where do you feel most welcome? Where do you go to be with community? Where do you go to find peace in nature? These are just some of the prompting questions provided to participants at the community mapping events held in Cecelia Ravine in September and October of 2022. The stories collected at the events are captured here to create a map of 'Burnside Gorge Neighbourhood Gems.'
